[Several parents are reportedly considering lawsuits
against former NFL star Brian Holloway after he posted their children’s
names on a website created after the kids trashed his house on Labor
Day.]

Not only are these people lousy parents, they’re stupid, too. If you tweet something out into the universe, there’s nothing illegal about someone else retweeting any or all of what you said (including the name of the tweeter). In fact, the whole PURPOSE of SOCIAL MEDIA like twitter is to repeat what’s been said.

This country is in the toilet because of parents like those threatening to sue. Like their kids, the parents refuse to take responsibility for their actions. Ironically, residents of 95.2% white Stephentown (per the 2010 census) would likely be the first to shake their heads and say that black families are disgraceful when black kids do something wrong.

If the dumb bunny parents pursue their fool’s errand, they will surely loose. They’ll have to pay Holloway’s court costs. Better yet, Holloway should counter sue, if at all possible. Make an example out of one or two of the wayward parents and the rest will quickly disappear.

[Some pro-casino amendment groups have started to materialize.]

I’m not against allowing non-Indian casinos in NYS. But I want to know where the Upstate casinos will likely be sited before approving a constitutional amendment. I also despise people who attempt to hold me over a barrel…which is exactly what Andy’s “heads I win, tails you lose” wording of the amendment does. I’m referring to the poison pill inserted in the ballot question.

Since I don’t expect any of my compliaints to be addressed before election day in November, I’ll have to vote “no.”

[David Grandeau, former executive director of the now-defunct state Lobbying Commission, skirted controversy with a blog post that used an ethnic slur in alluding to the governor.]

I have to disagree with Glenn Bain’s use of the word “skirted” in his post about Grandeau. He’s got it’s meaning backwards.

To “skirt” something means to go around it. Grandau NEVER tiptoes around controversy. He gleefully waltzes right into it, as he did by joking that the “the wandering dago” is not the code name for Cuomo’s state helicopter. LOL,
